SUNDAY, NOV. 5, 1944 PRICE FIVE CENTS Germans Driven from Greece in 38 Days lichigal Ground Attack Is Effective in First Periods Wolverines Score Six Touchdowns By DAVE LOEWENBERG Associate Sports Editor PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4.-Rolling up the highest score in the history of this intersectional classic, Michi- gan's spectacular running attack continued undaunted yesterday as the Wolverines pounded out a smash- ing 41-19 triumph over a bewildered University of Pennsylvania squad before 45,000 fans at Franklin Field. The Maize and Blue were in com- plete control of the situation all the way; and duing the first half, Mich- igan connected for fivestouchdowns with the ever-dependable Joe Pon- setto registering four conversions. The most spectacular scoring out- burst of the game occurred in the second quarter when with four min- utes to play Michigan amassed three scores and cliked on two of the three extra points. Rout Begins The first of this trio of scores came as a result of a 47 yard touchdown pass from Ponsetto to Art Renner, who caught the ball on the 15-yard line and continued unmolested over the goal line. Michigan then kicked off to the Quakers, and on the first play Don Lund intercepted Al Sica's pass and the Wolverines took over on the Penn 23-yard line. One running play failed and then Howard Yerges, second string quarterback, tossed a 25-yard touchdown pass to Bruce Hilkene who was camped in the end zone. Ralph Chubb missed the kick and the score was 27-0. The same procedure was followed on the next kickoff, only this time Charley Wahl made the interception on the Penn 30 and ran the ball back to the three-yard line. A lateral pass, Yerges to Jack Weisenberger, hit pay dirt and with Ponsetto's suc- (Continued on Page 7) Rout of Purdue To lie Re pl ayed Ii.

Premier-Marshal Joseph Stalin announced in an order of the day the fall of Szolnok on the double-trunk railway into Budapest. The Germans were sent reeling northward, their direct escape route into the capital severed. Forty more Hungarian lo- calities were seized, the Soviet bul- letin said. Berlin announced that the Rus- sians temporarily had seized Vecses and Ullo, only five and eight miles southeast of Budapest, but said they were then thrown out of those rail towns in fierce counter-attacks. French radio broadcasts said Red Army tank spearheads already had broken into Budapest's suburbs, but this was not confirmed by Moscow. However, dispatches from the Soviet capital and Berlin broadcasts said Russian artillery and planes were pumping explosives into the capital. A Budapest dispatch relayed by Berlin said Soviet planes roared con- stantly over the Danube city, bomb- ing and machinegunning streets clogged with German troops, tank and gun columns and knots of fran- tic civilians. Long caravans of vehicles jammed with fugitives and their scanty pos- sessions flowed westward across the Danube bridges out of the city as German reinforcements passed them enroute to the battle line in the city's outskirts, the broadcast said. Yanks Repulsed At West Leyte Pinamopoan Over Water Attack Begins GENERAL MAC ARTHUR'Si HEADQUARTERS, Philippines, Nov. 5, Sunday-W)-The American 24th Division has commenced a land and over-water assault against Pinamo- poan, key Carigara Bay town at the northern terminus of the Ormoc Val- ley Highway, headquarters reported The enemy has prepared "hasty defensive nositions" in the hills fron- ting the plains north' of American- encircled Ormoc, key port on Leyte's west coast, the statement added. The Japanese are attempting to protect their last foothold on Leyte, around Ormoc. American forces "bloodily" re- pulsed an enemy counterattack at Capoocan, midway between Ameri- can-held Carigara and Pinamopoan, seven miles westward along Carigara Bay. Planes yesterday heavily assaulted a ten-mile long convoy, composed of newly arrived Japanese reinforce- ments, hurrying northward in an apparent attempt to bulwark the crumbling imperial lines on Carigara Bay. Yanks Driven Back by Nazi~s At Schmidt LONDON, Nov. 5, Sunday-(P)- American troops, although driven back from the high water mark of their invasion of the Reich, the town of Schmidt, held their lines to the north firmly last night while Allied troops in southwestern Holland plun- ged ahead and the German radio said the battle of Walcheren Island was near its end. The doughboys scrambled out of Schmidt, 15 miles southeast of Aach- FDR Hits GOP 'Falsehoods'; 'He Prolongs Wgar'-Dewey Record Vote Called For by President By TLhe Associated Press BOSTON, NOV. 4 - President Roosevelt called tonight for at least 50,000,000 votes on Tuesday and de- clared himself anxious to win because "never before in my lifetime has a campaign been filled with such mis- representation, distortion and false- hood." In the final major address of his fourth-term campaign, to a crowd assembled in Fenway Park, Mr. Roosevelt declared that never since 1928 "have there been so many at- tempts to stimulate in America racial or religious intolerance."' Speaking in the same city where Thomas E. Dewey appeared but three days ago, he said that "just the other day you people here in Boston wit- nessed an amazing demonstration of talking out of both sides of the mouth." Hits GOP Assertion A Republican candidate, he said, asserted here in Boston that "the Communists are seizing control of the New Deal through which they aim to control the government of the United States." "We want neither Communism nor monarchy. We want to live under our constitution-which has served pretty well for 155 years.", Remembers Obligation1 Mr. Roosevelt conceded that his Administration had made mistakes. But he said he thanked God it could not be charged that it made the mis- take of "forgetting our sacred obli- gation to the American people." For veterans, when they come trudging home from fighting fronts, he promised "honest, self-respecting jobs," a real chance to settle on their own land for those seeking farms, a fair opportunity to others to go into business. Resistance Stiffened By Morgenthau Plan By The Associated Press NEW YORK, NOV. 4-Declaring President Roosevelt's "own confused incompetence" has prolonged the war in Europe, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey demanded tonight to know what has happened since Sept. 1 to upset Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's prediction that Germany could be beaten this year. 'Clumsy' Plan Publication of Treasury Secretary Morgenthau's "clumsy" plan, reput- edly calling for the reduction of Ger- many to an industrially-impotent state and for disposing of the Ger- man people after the war, Dewey de- clared, "was as good as 10 fresh Ger- man divisions." States Credo Dewey summed up the credo of his campaign in these words: "Openly and in plain words John Bricker and I, in the name of the Republican Party, are dedicated to these propositions: "1. To speed total victory and the prompt return of our fighting men by putting energy and competence in Washington behind the magnificent effort of our military command. "2. To provide American leader- ship in the world for an effective or- ganization among all nations to pre- vent future wars. "3. To direct all government poli- cies in the peacetime years ahead to achieving jobs and opportunity for every American." To these ends, Dewey pledged: "We shall restpre honesty and in- tegrity to our national government. "We shall put an end to one-man rule. "We shall unite our people in teamwork and harmony behind a president and a Congress that can and will work together to realize the limitless promise of America." 'Favorite Song' Ballots To Be Given Today Lombardo Will Play Tunes as Salute to 'U' on Station WXYZ Ballots to determine the five best- liked songs of the Michigan campus are being distributed with today's Daily. Results of the poll will be sent to Guy Lombardo in New York, who will play the songs as a salute to the University on his regular Saturday evening program at 10 p.m. Nov. 18, over the Blue Network and Station WXYZ. The Favorite Five is the closing. sequence' of the. Lombardo show. Each week he selects some large; organization to honor by playing its five favorite tunes in his representa- tive feature, the Lombardo Medley. His radio program, titled Musical Autographs, is exactly that. Lom- bardo has interviewed literally scores of leading personalities in business, industry, politics, and entertainment to discover their favorite songs. Each week he honors four or five of these by playing each one's choice on his program-an autograph in his album of favorite melodies. Lombardo has a reputation for introducing songs on his show that consistently become nation - wide hits. Any hit parade survey will show a large number of songs that he played for the first time on the air. His program also features the favorite song of his listeners, as determined by letters sent in to him. Every student who receives a ballot i.s asked to write down his favorite tune at the moment. These ballots., to be counted, should be dropped into one of the ballot boxes on cam- pus before Tuesday afternoon at 4 p.m. Boxes will be posted at The Daily, the Engine Arch, the center of the diagonal, in the Union and in the League. In case a student loses his ballot- or doesn't receive one through The Daily-additional ballots will be on hand at the Student Publications Building on Maynard St. ' The songs listed on the ballots need not necessarily be hits of the day.

Field Marshall Sir Dill Dies WASHINGTON, NOV. 4 - 0P) - Field Marshal Sir John Dill, head of the British Joint Staff Mission in the United States, died tonight in Walter Reed Army Hospital. He had been ill for several months with anemia. The British information service is- sued the following announcement: "The British joint staff mission deeply regret to announce that Field Marshal Sir John Dill, head of the British Joint Staff Mission in Wash- ington, and representative in the United States of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, in his capa- city as Minister of Defense, died to- night in Walter Reed Hospital. . "For some months the field mar- shal had been fighting a refractory type of anemia, for which no specific treatment is yet known to medical science. "In spite of repeated transfusions of blood, in the long run the strain of this disorder proved too great for his constitution." Sir John was 63 years old. Nazi Rearguards Enter Yugoslavia Retreating Foe Battling With Tito's Partisans; Two Cities Under Siege By The Associated Press ROME, NOV. 4-British troops and Greek patriots have driven the Germans completely from Greece in a whirlwind campaign that was little less speedy than the lightning Nazi conquest of 1941, Allied headquarters announced today. An RAF officer said it was believed the last German rearguards crossed over into Yugoslavia Thursday night-38 days after British troops landed on the rocky western coast of the Peloponnesus Sept. 26. It took the Germans 27 days to overrun the little country in the spring of 1941. An Allied announcement today said additional British troops had landed near Salonika, which previously was freed by patriots and other Tommies moving up to the northern Greek port by land, and these forces SINGER COMMENTS: English Adds Understanding To Music, Says Miss Trutbel Final Appeal Of War Chestr Drive Is Made 5 The War Chest campus campaign for funds ends tomorrow afternoon.t "Even though our solicitors havee contacted almost every student ons campus through his house, there are! still a few who have not yet con-3 tributed to this drive," Paul John, '46, in charge of the campaign in men's houses, said yesterday. For those who have waited untiln the last moment to make their con-I tributions, a special desk has beenF set up in the lobby of the Union tos accept donations for the War Chest between 1 and 4 p.m. tomorrow. t "I believe we have been handi-r capped somewhat by the disorgani-5 zation of the campus during the firste days of the new term, but our re- turns so far have been very gratify- ing," John declared. "We won't know the final results until some time Tuesday, but I'm sure they will be high.' For the last day of the campaign John re-emphasized the many relief societies and welfare organizations that one contribution will benefit: In the local drive, there are 36 agen- cies, including the USO, which share the donations. "I have found the response to our' campaign very encouraging," Peggy Morgan, '45, women's co-ordinator, asserted. "Most of the girls have been very happy to have our solici- tors contact them, since many wo- men had no chance to contribute to the War Chest before they left home for the fall term." Prof. Harold M. Dorr, director of the campus drive, commented, "I, believe that the students who have organized this campaign so well should be given special credit for their work during the past week." ~Sinking of Yank Vessel Revealed WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-(IP)-De- tails of the sinking of an American transport by an Axis submarine in the north Atlantic with heavy loss of life early in 1943 were revealed for the first time today. , The vessel, the liner Henry R. Mal- loy, which in peacetime flew the Clyde-Mallory flag in the New York- Galveston run, was in a convoy car- rying Army, Navy and Marine Corps personnel to Iceland when attacked during a snow storm and heavy seas., Nearly 300 servicemen were miss-! ing when survivors were rescued by the Coast Guard cutters George M. Bibb and Ingram. Thirty-eight mem- bers of the ship's crew of 71, includ- ing the master, also were lost. "Being American-born is no handi- cap for a singer when learning a foreign language if the singer obtains a thorough knowledge of the lang- uage," Helen Traubel, red-haired and colorful soprano, stated after the first Choral Union concert last night at Hill Auditorium. Miss Traubel, garbed in a black evening gown and wearing very lit- tle make-up, commented that a sing- er must understand the depth, mean- ing, and feeling of the words and language which she or he is singing. This understanding of a foreign Michigan Press Club Members To Meet Here language cannot be obtained by a phonetic study .of the language. "However, my greatest desire is to sing my entire repertoire in Eng- lish, not because I find it hard to understand a foreign language, but because I firmly believe that an audi- ence can understand the meaning of the music much better if the words can also be understood," she said. Most musicians and singers today believe as I do, she stated, but our greatest problem lies in the transla- tion. It is very hard to find translat- crs who will write the English words in place of foreign words who can make the song singable and reason- ably free. "They fail to understand," she said, "that what we are seeking is a reasonably free translation rather than a literal one. As long as the poetic content is there, we would be satisfied. Someday I am sure we reported also that no German troops remained on the mainland except a few stragglers. Fleeing Serbia, Albania Tonight the Germans, who may never get back to the fatherland in view of the strong Yugoslav and Rus- sian Army positions in Yugoslavia, were still on the run out of Albania and Serbia. A German broadcast said Nazi troops had strong positions in north- ern Albania, and were engaged in street fighting with "Communist elements" in the capital of Tirana itself. Yugoslavs Attack Those Germans who fell back into Yugoslavia were under attack from Yugoslav Partisans at Bitolj, 13 miles north of the Greek border, and at Skopije, 70 miles farther north, Mar- shal Tito's headquarters announced. Both towns were declared under siege. The reconquest of Greece ended three years and six months of Nazi rule during which it was estimated 500,000 Greeks died from starvation, executions and mistreatment.
